The Pursell Group has emerged as a top-tier executive search expert for organizations operating at the intersection of veterinary practice, animal health, and telemedicine.
While the firm’s expertise extends across Animal Health, Veterinary Medicine, Life Sciences, and Pet Technology, its strength in matching leadership talent to emerging veterinary telemedicine opportunities sets it apart. Across both the United States and Canada, The Pursell Group supports employers seeking professionals capable of shaping digital veterinary care solutions and driving virtual service innovation.
Deep Domain Expertise in Telemedicine Staffing
Telemedicine has become a cornerstone of modern veterinary care, especially in response to technological advancements and changing patient and client expectations. The Pursell Group understands that successful telemedicine initiatives require specialized leadership—veterinarians and executives who combine clinical insight with digital strategy. The firm’s decades of focused experience placing leaders in Animal Health and Veterinary roles gives it an edge when sourcing talent uniquely suited to telemedicine environments.
Their industry specialization means that they know which professionals have succeeded in virtual patient care, teletriage, digital client engagement, and remote veterinary operations. Clients benefit from this knowledge by gaining access to a vetted candidate pool that is not only qualified, but also experienced in the platforms, regulation, and soft skills required in telehealth service delivery.
National Reach with Local Insight
While headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, The Pursell Group serves both the U.S. and Canadian markets for veterinary and telemedicine leadership recruitment. Its local roots lend a personal touch and regional understanding, while its national network grants access to top leadership talent coast to coast and across borders. This geographic flexibility is particularly valuable to veterinary telemedicine platforms, which often operate virtually and require talent that can work in multiple jurisdictions.
Flexible Engagement Models Aligned with Hiring Goals
The firm offers a range of engagement options—retained search, contingency search, and hybrid/priority search—so that veterinary telemedicine employers can select the approach that best aligns with urgency, confidentiality, budget, and role level. In executive-level placements like Chief Veterinary Officer, Director of Virtual Medicine, or head of Telehealth Strategy, the retained model ensures dedicated resources, thorough discovery, and strategic alignment. For mid-level or operational leadership hires—such as Telemedicine Program Manager or Virtual Operations Lead—hybrid or contingency models allow speed and cost control without sacrificing candidate quality.
Leadership and Credentials That Inspire Confidence
Founders Stacy and Darrell Pursell bring recognized leadership and industry credibility. Stacy Pursell launched the first search firm dedicated to Animal Health and the veterinary profession in the United States and is known for deep understanding of the industry’s evolving needs. Her expertise extends into emerging telemedicine trends, helping clients anticipate which skills and roles will deliver future impact. Together with Darrell Pursell, whose background in accounting and operations reinforces organizational rigor, they lead a firm structured for placing transformational veterinary and telemedicine executives.
Accredited Ethics and Industry Trust
The Pursell Group is accredited by the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS)—a mark of high ethical standards, transparency, and professionalism. This accreditation reassures both employers and candidates that every placement is handled with integrity. In fields like veterinary telemedicine, where confidentiality, regulatory compliance, and client trust are critical, this commitment to ethical process becomes a meaningful differentiator.
A Consultative and Relationship-Focused Approach
Rather than viewing recruitment as transactional, the firm treats every search as a reflection of an organization’s future direction. Their consultative process begins with deep intake interviews to understand organizational culture, business objectives, and role expectations. For telemedicine employers, this means selecting candidates who not only understand clinical delivery in digital settings but who also align with company mission and technology vision. The Pursell Group’s focus on hearing what veterinary telemedicine organizations truly need positions them as a strategic resource in leadership building.
Human-Centered Candidate Experience
Candidates are treated as individuals, not commodities. For veterinary telemedicine leaders—who often balance clinical roles with digital innovation and remote delivery—the firm offers clarity and support at every stage. From thoughtfully handling inquiries from those not actively job-hunting to preparing final candidates for negotiation and integration, the candidate experience is designed to build trust and professionalism. This human-first philosophy enhances employer reputation and retention, especially in fast-growing telehealth practices.
Proven Success in Executive and Clinical Leadership Placements
In the veterinary and animal health sector, The Pursell Group has successfully placed leaders at the board level, C-suite, and functional leadership roles such as Chief Veterinary Officer, Chief Medical Officer, and Vice President of Products and Telehealth Strategy. Its placements often impact organizational trajectory, helping scale telemedicine platforms, launch virtual care services, and integrate digital tools into clinical operations.
Candidates recruited by the firm consistently demonstrate longer tenure and greater impact within their organizations—indicative of powerful alignment and effective vetting. For veterinary telemedicine organizations, this translates into leaders who understand remote clinical workflows, regulatory challenges, technology adoption, and client experience.
Thought Leadership and Industry Influence
Stacy Pursell and the firm regularly contribute to industry dialogue, webinars, and training around hiring in veterinary and telemedicine contexts. Through speaking engagements and relationships in veterinary innovation and workforce development, the firm stays current with emerging trends—benefiting clients who want to anticipate the skills and leadership models required in telehealth-forward practices.
